Lupe fiasco, hypocrit?

hello everyone, im a huge lupe fan, even own a “the cool” hoodie, but i fear that lupe is trying to mislead me, he will put out a good message, but will subliminaly put out a evil one. or am i just overly parinoid?

(martin luther king supported israel

i feel guilty for supporting him now, i can see i will get alot of ridicule for this thread, i even laughed the first time i saw it, but it grew on me. Thoughts? ( i did not make those images btw), heres the forum that got me scared http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=165844.0

Well i’m not exactly sure about Lupe Fiasco beliefs or music for that matter. This is because I haven’t done my research on him or listened to any of his albums. But from the surface (watched one interview with him and listened to some his mainstream songs) I can tell you that people like him tend to end up contradicting themselves.

Don’t pigeonhole Palestine (Israel is somewhat sheisty). As for the Obama statement, he said that since Pres. Obama is the head of the US (and it’s world symbol, you might say), any terror that America inflicts (civilian deaths in Iraq/ Afghanistan/ Libya) is figuratively supported by him. I don’t agree with, fully, with his Obama statement, but I respect the way he qualified it.

Anyway, Lupe’s sheisty for a different reason. He claimed that Lasers was made poppy and mainstream production-wise by his label and FOTP sounded the same on quite a few songs.

lupes getting to much in the mainstream, i cant trust anything he produces, another nazi american scum trying to brain wash the masses, only difference is that he trys to put on the whole “religious” outfit, clown

that martin luther picture is pretty ignorant… lupes not a hypocrite for saying things like obamas a terrorist. last i checked, he didnt vote for obama and doesnt plan to in the next election. sounds like he didnt support him and still doesnt. no hypocracy there. and his terrorist comment has already been explained so thats figured out.

As many of you know I am a massive fan of Lupe, I don’t think he is a hypocrite. Those pictures don’t even make sense, for example why can’t he be like Martin Luther and support palestine? I don’t agree with everything Lupe says, but I haven’t seem him be a hypocrite, in fact the very opposite. He is very stuck in his beliefs. This whole Obama is a terrorist thing isn’t far fetched at all if you look at what the US has done to other countries, like bombing villages of people unable to defend themselves, that could be defined as terrorism, right?

How the fuck is using a shelf of toys as the backdrop of a music video hypocritical? Strange, yes, but not hypocritical.

Everyone else has explained the “Obama is a terrorist” line, and I don’t feel like being redundant. But Karl Marx wasn’t a terrorist, he only created a doctrine that many assholes in history have decided to take in the worst way possible. Blaming Karl Marx for that is like blaming George Washington for our economic problems.

Lupe supports Palestine because they’re being oppressed, just like Israel was oppressed back in the MLK era. Besides, why would that be considered hypocritical? Supporting one thing that the other person wasn’t supporting doesn’t make you an enemy of that person. Just because you, for example, support Lupe Fiasco’s movements, doesn’t mean you’re a hypocrite if you’re, say, not Muslim.

I’m not an expert in this field, but I know that the problem in Africa is much bigger than “not spraying water bottles” is going to even come close to help fixing.

Would you like it if your blog’s comment section was spammed with hateful messages, or even just plain spam? Besides, censorship is completely different. If he moderated the comments and only let in ones that he agreed with (rather than the ones that were spam or straight up hate messages), THAT would be considered censorship.

Like I said earlier, these pictures and this whole idea is absurd. As for RickyBawse’s comment on FotP, I do somewhat agree, but that’s only because he sampled (for the most part) mainstream and poppy songs. To be honest, I quite like the sound (I can’t wait to hear what SNDCLSH does in the future), but I can see why others don’t.

Trey nailed it. That picture about the water made me laugh, as if one bottle of water even counts as a signifficant amount to remove the african water crisis. It was just used to make the video more entirtaining.

i agree that obama is a terrorist to other nations, i support free palestine,im a muslim aswell. but the real question is if hes using reverse thinking to get us to do the oppisit, if that would be the case, lupe wasnt responcible, but some rich person in the industry doing so. the person who produced and co-wrote the stuff may not have pure intentions. anys astafurallah if i said anything wrong, and for any haram im spreading with this picture lol
